JN Petit Technical High School is the only school in Pune to have implemented a structured English Language Upgradation Program for the Pre-Primary and Primary Sections. The programme is designed and guided by an expert team of professionals—Ms. Massarat Khan, CEO of MDA, Mumbai, and Ms. Rameeza Khan, Head of the Counselling Section at Avabai Petit Girls’ School, Mumbai.
The programme focuses on building strong foundational English skills—including phonics, spelling, reading, writing, listening, and speaking—by addressing the individual learning needs of each child.
